ಕೀರ್ತನೆಗಳು 69
1 ೧ ಪ್ರಧಾನಗಾಯಕನ ಕೀರ್ತನ ಸಂಗ್ರಹದಿಂದ ಆರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡದ್ದು. ಶೋಶನ್ನೀಮೆಂಬ ರಾಗದ ಮೇಲೆ ಹಾಡತಕ್ಕದ್ದು; ದಾವೀದನ ಕೀರ್ತನೆ. ದೇವರೇ, ರಕ್ಷಿಸು; ಜಲವು ನನ್ನ ಕುತ್ತಿಗೆಯವರೆಗೂ ಏರಿಬಂದಿದೆ.
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Lilies.” By David. Save me, God, for the waters have come up to my neck!
2 ೨ ಆಳವಾದ ಕೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಸಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ನೆಲೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಜಲರಾಶಿಯೊಳಗೆ ಮುಳುಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಪ್ರವಾಹವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೊಡೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದೆ.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 ೩ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟು ಬೇಸತ್ತು ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಗಂಟಲು ಒಣಗಿಹೋಯಿತು. ನನ್ನ ದೇವರನ್ನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಕಣ್ಣುಗಳು ಕ್ಷೀಣಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.
4 ೪ ನಿಷ್ಕಾರಣ ದ್ವೇಷಿಗಳು ನನ್ನ ತಲೆಗೂದಲುಗಳಿಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ; ನಿರಾಕಾರಣವಾಗಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುಗಿಸಿಬಿಡಬೇಕೆಂದಿರುವ ವೈರಿಗಳು ಬಲಿಷ್ಠರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ನಾನು ಅಪಹರಿಸದಿದ್ದರೂ ನನ್ನಿಂದ ದಂಡ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡರಲ್ಲಾ.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.
God, you know my foolishness. My sins aren’t hidden from you.
6 ೬ ಸೇನಾಧೀಶ್ವರನೇ, ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ನಂಬಿದವರಿಗೆ ನನ್ನಿಂದ ನಿರಾಶೆಯಾಗದಿರಲಿ; ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲರ ದೇವರೇ, ನಿನ್ನ ದರ್ಶನವನ್ನು ಬಯಸುವವರು ನನ್ನಿಂದ ಅಪಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗದಿರಲಿ.
Don’t let those who wait for you be shamed through me, Lord GOD of Armies. Don’t let those who seek you be brought to dishonour through me, God of Israel.
Because for your sake, I have borne reproach. Shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children.
For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.
When I wept and I fasted, that was to my reproach.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.
12 ೧೨ ಊರ ಬಾಗಿಲಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರ ಆಡು ಮಾತಿಗೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕುಡುಕರು ನನ್ನ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಹಾಡಿ ಪರಿಹಾಸ್ಯ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.
Those who sit in the gate talk about me. I am the song of the drunkards.
13 ೧೩ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನಾನಾದರೋ ನಿನಗೆ ಮೊರೆಯಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ; ಇದು ನಿನ್ನ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನತೆಗೆ ಸಕಾಲ. ಪ್ರೇಮಪೂರ್ಣನಾದ ದೇವನೇ, ಸತ್ಯವಂತನಾದ ರಕ್ಷಕನೇ, ಸದುತ್ತರವನ್ನು ದಯಪಾಲಿಸು.
But as for me, my prayer is to you, LORD, in an acceptable time. God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.
Deliver me out of the mire, and don’t let me sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 ೧೫ ಪ್ರವಾಹವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬಡಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗದಿರಲಿ; ಅಗಾಧವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಒಳಗೆ ಎಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳದಿರಲಿ; ಪಾತಾಳವು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ನುಂಗದಿರಲಿ.
Don’t let the flood waters overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Don’t let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 ೧೬ ಯೆಹೋವನೇ, ನನ್ನ ಮೊರೆಯನ್ನು ಲಾಲಿಸು; ನಿನ್ನ ಕೃಪೆಯು ಶುಭಕರವಾಗಿದೆಯಲ್ಲಾ. ಕರುಣಾನಿಧಿಯೇ, ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಟಾಕ್ಷಿಸು.
Answer me, LORD, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.
Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!
Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonour. My adversaries are all before you.
20 ೨೦ ನಿಂದೆಯಿಂದ ನಿರಾಶೆಗೊಂಡು ಕುಂದಿಹೋಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಕರುಣಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿದೆ; ದೊರೆಯಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಸಂತೈಸುವವರನ್ನು ಹಾರೈಸಿದೆ; ಸಿಕ್ಕಲಿಲ್ಲ.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; for comforters, but I found none.
They also gave me poison for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
Let their table before them become a snare. May it become a retribution and a trap.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see. Let their backs be continually bent.
Pour out your indignation on them. Let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
Let their habitation be desolate. Let no one dwell in their tents.
For they persecute him whom you have wounded. They tell of the sorrow of those whom you have hurt.
Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness.
Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
But I am in pain and distress. Let your salvation, God, protect me.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
It will please the LORD better than an ox, or a bull that has horns and hoofs.
The humble have seen it, and are glad. You who seek after God, let your heart live.
For the LORD hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moves therein!
35 ೩೫ ದೇವರು ಚೀಯೋನ್ ಪಟ್ಟಣವನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿ, ಯೆಹೂದ ದೇಶದ ನಗರಗಳನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟಿಸುವನು; ಆತನ ಪ್ರಜೆಗಳು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಅದನ್ನು ಸ್ವದೇಶವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವರು.
For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. They shall settle there, and own it.
The children also of his servants shall inherit it. Those who love his name shall dwell therein.
